TreeSitter

Been fighting Bronchitis but decided to hunt last Saturday afternoon. Didn't see anything but the cold air really aggravated my lungs. So I figure no sense in going out on Sunday afternoon and getting sicker. My stand is 12 yards off the left side of his rib cage. I should have picked last sunday instead of saturday to hunt!

Got me thinking about putting one of those little air horns in my pack. For the first time I had a yote run by my stand last year and I have been thinking about it since. Had never seen one before on my land.

New to the forum, lots of great info! Anyway spent last fall trying to get a shot at a nice 10 pt that was on one of my cameras all summer and fall, but would only show at night. Sat in a tree daily for over a week and just saw does and a few smaller bucks. Last day of my hunt, totally frustrated I decide to stay in my stand till 11 am unless I see a lot....i see zilch. Totally frustrated at 10:57 I hook my bow up to my lift line and begin to let it down. About 3/4's of the way down I catch movement off to my right about 20 yds away. There taking a leisurely stroll past my stand and thru a shooting lane was that buck live and in person! Talk about getting toasted. Tried to call him back and pull the bow back up at the same time, but he just ignored me and continued on his pace till I lost sight of him. Sat for another hour and finally decided that he got the better of me and won.
